In this episode, we explore Dr Barton's personal low-carb journey, how he integrates lifestyle medicine into his sleep and lung practice, and how small changes—like breathing through your nose or taping your mouth—can improve sleep quality, reduce snoring, and even avoid CPAP machines in some cases.

We also dig into practical solutions for insomnia, circadian rhythm shifts, sleep trackers, sleeping tablets, and how your routine (and your mindset) shapes your sleep more than you think.

Whether you're struggling with snoring, waking up at 3am, or feeling exhausted despite a full night's sleep—this one is packed with tips to help you breathe better, sleep deeper, and live well.
